Description:

Research projects, equipment development, teaching and education in pursuit of fundamental questions about impact, friction, the aerodynamics of game balls, sports surfaces such as the traction of cleats and other footwear, and more. See, in particular, SERG's list of research publications and downloads of research results that use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flight of adidas' Teamgeist soccer ball and the velocity streamlines of a track bike's front wheel and fork.
